There is still strong hate towards the Anatolian Turks among few Hungarians though. Mostly because of the Ottoman time, which is quite understandable. The Ottomans ruled Hungary for several hundreds of years after all. However, the friendship between Hungary and Turkey, as well as the rest of Turkic nations, increased during the National Socialist time of Hungary and even today, parties such as Jobbik seeks friendship in the east. The Arrow Cross Party (Nyilaskeresztes Párt) were quite influenced of Turanism. And there are still people in Hungary who embraces Turanism. However, I don't know if the Arrow Cross Party still embraces Turanism today.
